Bayern Munich have withdrawn a contract offer to Joshua Kimmich, it has been claimed, with Liverpool and Manchester City potentially primed to pounce.
Bayern have been in discussions with German international Kimmich for some time.
The versatile 30-year-old has spent the last decade in Munich after joining from RB Leipzig, winning eight Bundesliga titles and one Champions League.
Kimmich, who has 97 caps for Germany, was linked with a Premier League switch last summer.
He ended up staying put ta the time, but could well be an appealing prospect as a free agent.
Liverpool cooled on a January move for Kimmich, seemingly due to the form of Ryan Gravenberch, while City moved for Nico Gonzalez in the same window.
He had reportedly been after a slight increase on his current wages of just under £320,000 per week, pushing for an improved deal in the light of his performances this season.
Kimmich has been an ever-present in the Champions League this term, helping Bayern sneak past Celtic to set up a round of 16 meeting with Bayer Leverkusen.
He had also played every minute in the league before injury struck against Eintracht Frankfurt last time out, with Bayern eight points clear of defending champions and closest challengers Leverkusen in the league standings.
BILD reports that Bayern chiefs spoke about Kimmich's future at a quarterly supervisory board meeting on Monday?
Kimmich scored against City in the 2022-23 Champions League.
